#23 Dayhunter by Jocelynn Drake

The book picks up right after the battle at the end of the last book and events never really give Mira or the hunter time to catch their breaths. Mira is plunged back into the politics of the Vampire Council as soon as she arrives in Venice and finds out that maybe vampires are being betrayed after finding out there is a naturi in the heart of Venice and is dealing with the Council. The pace never lets up in the book and once again it ends with another battle with the naturi. What was interesting was the reader finds out of the centuries long plan to let humans know about vampires and the other supernatural beings in the world and the timetable is being pushed forwards. The story was fun and it is a new twist on all the other vampire books out there.

#24 Bacon: A Love Story: A Salty Survey of Everybody's Favorite Meat by Heather Lauer

Bacon a Love Story is a great all around guide to both how bacon is made and eaten. The author deftly weaves in comments from professionals in the food industry and rabid fans of the wonderful meat to showcase to the reader the wonders of this great meat. After reading the book I came to realize that as much as I love bacon there are lots of people out there that put me to shame. I guess I will have to start using some of the recipes provided and maybe order some specialty bacon to step up my bacon intake.
